Shadows

After their game the boys had to walk

On the way home they started to talk

The sun was up high, it shown on their back

They noticed the two boys in front of them were thin and black

One said " I bet if our shadows fought mine would win"

The other looked at him with a snaggletooth grin

They started throwing punches until the sun went out of sight

One said to the other " Now we will never know who won the fight"
